Raw Apricot Kernels

I have eaten them, I think you are only supposed to start with 1, then maybe go to 3. I doubt that small quantities of it would poison me, and to date, I have never had any issues. I camouflage it in a handful of almonds because they are nasty. I didn't do them through chemo, but have started back on my natural substances since chemo has ended.

dlb823 I started out with a small amount because I wanted to make sure lol. I will see if I can find your brand. We have a brand called Apricot Power.

Giving myself another two weeks of recovery before I start my serious alternative treatments. More stabbing, infusions, etc. but I figure it is worth a try.

dlb823,

I have eaten apricot pits for almost two years. I buy it online from a different company. I started eating them one at a time and repeat every 3 hours when I started. Now I am taking 3 pits four times a day since my body has adjusted to them. I did not see any side effects from taking them but I am not familiar with the brand you found. It has vitamin B17 which has caused so much controversy in the past. You can PM me if you need more info.

dlb823,

They should taste bitter not good. The one I am using is from apricotpower and the label says "bitter raw ".

Hi, my friends sent me about 3 lbs of them. ha ha. I eat 3 a day. Itlaychick, how come you don't eat them during chemo? I am currently on my second cycle of taxotere, Herceptin and perjecta . Just curious. Thanks.

I too am using apricot kernels, 4 kernels, 3 times a day. You have to take Zinc with the kernels.

There are many research papers and articles available online about apricot kernels and B17, some very negative about the benefits and others very positive.

I found this one and now trying to source the video "Second Opinion: Laetrile at Sloan Kettering"

labelle, they can be bitter but they can be good too--they have a powerful almond flavor, like almond extract. I have read that you shouldn't eat more than you could apricots in a day. So if you can't imagine eating more than 5 apricots in a day, don't eat more kernels than that. I kind of like the taste of them but I wouldn't be tempted to overeat them, which is a good thing.

Hello.

My wife started with Ibrance yesterday, in her case is that the CA-15-3 has been elevated for the past 2+, years last test was in the 230s, she was in remission for almost 14 years. She has been monitored regularly and nothing has been found at all, even after the second opinion at Cleveland Clinic that Bone Marrow and blood floating cancer cells was OK. After that was that it went to the 230s, still nothing shows up in any of the tests.One customer came for advice on the accounting for his wife that passed away due to the same cancer my wife had. His wife at this time was taking the B-17 through IV that her husband will administer and did pretty well, I have to mention that they were living out side the US, this should tell you why the administration method. He mention that he is sure, that she would have been ok if they had started earlier base on the well she felt with the vitamin.

What I have read is that is not marketed here for obvious reasons, so I decided to look as I can see you are trying here. What I have found as some of you is the toxicity due the cyanide. I do know, and need to be caution that the concentration of cyanide will increase as the kernel ages regardless if it is in the seed or shelled.

but isn't the cyanide the curative part? not sure

There are Laetrile infusions that are offered as well. A friend of mine was having them during her tx and she sat next to a 911 responder who had lost all of his hair and was having so many pulmonary issues. In and out of Drs. She said by the end of their tx (they became friends) he had a full head of hair. It does have levels of cyanide and really the best way to consume the kernels is to do it the way animals do and eat the whole fruit (organic) of course. Because the pulp and the seeds provide the full nutrition profile. If you aren't going going to do it under the supervision of a dr then this is the best way to add to your tx (and after for that matter). Eating a whole organic apple including seeds is good too

Hi Sylvia;

I have consumed apricot kernels for over 7 years. I usually only take them every other day. they are quite safe in small does. I cleared this with my oncologist. In the magazine CURE a peer reviewed research mag put out by Dr.s they also determined that the apricots seed hold promise! My reading and research had confirmed that Sloan Kettering covered this up when apricots seed were investigated for efficiency at reduction of size of tumors. They scrapped the story and a person involved in the study left there , ie fired because he stood up for the truth of the study. As to safety yes that is a concern. I have had stage 4 cancer and there for e didn't have much to loose. I took them and I have also done many other cancer alternatives and I am well 7 years out. A prominent Nurse Practitioner Dr. Carl Helvie was a proponent of them and told me they're safe to take. He conquered incurable cancer of the lung 40 years ago- this a miracle. He takes about 25 apricots kernels a day. there is more information on this at the radio show where i also produce a show. Dr. Hevlies health show is called the holistic health show on www.bbsradio.com. There have been no reports of people being poisoned by them. I am still well. I used both traditional cancer treatments and alternatives like the juicing and vegan diet. I am happy I choose this after much research into actual studies of many different alternatives. Please stay well and follow your heart! I'm sure you can research this for yourself. Safe to my experiecne.
